Quality of life and quality of education among physiotherapy students in Europe

Background: The study of physiotherapy is challenging and can affect the students’ well-being and quality of life. The aim of this study was to describe and compare factors that could affect well-being among students across Europe. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study using an online questionnaire survey, students of bachelor’s physiotherapy programs from 23 European faculties, from 8 countries, were interviewed on mental health and stress burden, sleep quality, dietary habits, and physical activity. Results: Although 75% of students rated their quality of life positively and 47% were satisfied with their mental health, 65% showed higher levels of stress and 51% described impaired sleep quality. The minimum physical activity of 150 min weekly was described by 79% of students, within which 67% engaged in strengthening twice a week. Students with a higher stress load/worse psychological health also showed worse sleep quality and lower amount of physical activity, women were significantly worse off. In terms of physical activity and sleep quality, students from Finland and Kosovo achieved the best results, while students from Italy, Greece, and Portugal achieved the worst. Students from Italy indicated the greatest dissatisfaction with the organisation of the study system and communication with teachers, while in Kosovo students rated the communication and study organisation the highest. All students had a problem with adhering to nutritional habits. Students from Italy and Spain, with the lowest body mass indexes and weight averages, were closest to the nutrition recommendations. Conclusion: We demonstrated that physiotherapy students are burdened with stress, suffer from sleep disorders, and do not follow the recommendations regarding nutrition nor physical activity. There are significant differences between universities and countries in some aspects

Simulation of supersonic flow through the tip-section turbine blade cascade with a strong shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction

The work was supported by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic under the grant TH02020057. Institutional support RVO 61388998 is also gratefully acknowledged.Numerical simulations of the supersonic flow have shown the significant effect of the prescription of the outlet boundary condition. Simulations carried out for the standard computational domain with the output behind the blade cascade and/or for the computational domain corresponding to the experimental arrangement have shown that numerical results obtained on the basis of the numerical optimization correspond quite well to experimental data (see Louda et al.). The agreement of predicted flow fields and main parameters including energy losses is acceptable
